Or more likely just continue to use Windows 10 when it's no longer supported.
Microsoft is squeezing everyone with EOL shenanigans. If it becomes commonplace to continue using software when it's no longer supported, this strategy no longer works.
Hackers will enjoy the land of exploits, though, whereas Linux seems to allow you to patch without needing to change versions. Sure, it may slow the experience, but meh.
